Add-on two-frame HPE Synergy Image Streamer cabling example

CAUTION:

A two-frame add-on HPE Synergy Image Streamer configuration is only supported if the two HPE Synergy Image Streamer add-on frames are added to an existing HPE Synergy configuration. The existing configuration must have two HPE Synergy Composers installed and two frame link module MGMT ports connected to the management network.

This cabling example shows adding a two-frame HPE Synergy Image Streamer configuration to two existing frames. In this example, the existing frames provide a redundant connection to the management network.

This example does not cover production network cabling or power cabling.

Procedure

MGMT port cabling

  1. One frame link module MGMT port from each existing frame is connected to the management network for high availability (HA).
    CAUTION:

    A two-frame add-on HPE Synergy Image Streamer configuration is only supported if the two HPE Synergy Image Streamer add-on frames are added to an existing HPE Synergy configuration. The existing configuration must have two HPE Synergy Composers installed and two frame link module MGMT ports connected to the management network.

LINK port cabling

  1. Using CAT6A cables, connect the LINK ports between the two add-on HPE Synergy Image Streamer frames and to the existing configuration.

Image Streamer cabling

  1. Connect a CAT6A cable from each MGMT port in the add-on frames to the master ICMs.
    1. Connect the bay 1 frame link module MGMT port from each add-on frame to an HPE Synergy Dual 10GBASE-T QSFP+ 30m RJ45 adapter.

      Connect the HPE Synergy Dual 10GBASE-T QSFP+ 30m RJ45 adapter to the first master ICM.

    2. Connect the bay 2 frame link module MGMT port from each add-on frame to an HPE Synergy Dual 10GBASE-T QSFP+ 30m RJ45 adapter.

      Connect the HPE Synergy Dual 10GBASE-T QSFP+ 30m RJ45 adapter to the second master ICM.

Master and satellite ICM cabling

  1. Connect interconnect cables from ports L1 and L4 on the first master ICM to the satellite ICM.

  3. Connect a stacking cable from the first master ICM to the second master ICM.
    1. Connect port Q7 on the first master ICM to port Q7 on the second master ICM.
    2. Connect port Q8 on the first master ICM to port Q8 on the second master ICM.
